When I bought my first motorhome (a 26 ft Freedom Elite, class C) I thought the handling needed to be improved and did all the mods people rave about and took it on a windy trip out west and didn’t have any problem. I thought “cool!” it worked. When I traded on a class A I did the same mods and again didn’t have a problem. Then I traded on another class A and I took he steering stabilizer off the old one to avoid buying it again. Left everything else on it because it would be too hard to remove. Drove the new one 500 miles home in the wind and mountains and, surprise, surprise, I didn’t have any issues with it stock. I’ll probably install my steering stabilizer because I’ve got it and it’s easy to do but I don’t think I’m going to do anything else. I’ve come to believe that, while you CAN make it handle more like a car with thousands of dollars of modifications, there’s nothing inherently dangerous about the stock setup. It just takes getting used to. Just my opinion, of course.
